(a) 3H2 + N2 → 2NH3
The following chemical reaction takes place when hydrogen gas interacts with nitrogen to form ammonia. Hydrogen and nitrogen react together to form ammonia in this scenario.
H2 + N2 → NH3
Balancing the above equation, we get
3H2 + N2 → 2NH3
(b) 2H2S + 3O2 → 2H2O + 2SO2
Hydrogen sulphide gas burns in air to give water and sulphur dioxide can be expressed in terms of equation as
H2S + O2 → H2O + SO2 (unbalanced equation)
The balanced equation is
2H2S + 3O2 → 2H2O + 2SO2
(c) Al2(SO4)3 + 3BaCl2→ 2AlCl3 + 3BaSO4
Barium chloride on reacting with ammonium sulphate forms barium sulphate and ammonium chloride. The reaction is an example of a double displacement reaction since ammonium and barium are getting displaced from their respective salts. The chemical equation can be represented as
Aluminium sulfate + Barium chloride → Aluminum chloride + Barium sulfate
Al2(SO4)3 + 3BaCl2→ 2AlCl3 + 3BaSO4
(d) 2K + 2H2O → 2KOH + H2
Potassium hydroxide and hydrogen gas are formed when potassium metal reacts with water.
K + H2O → KOH + H2 (unbalanced equation)
The balanced equation is
2K + 2H2O → 2KOH + H2
